This is required when the transactions of a business are voluminous and requires several pages of Journal. After totalling the amounts on each page, in the particular’s column, against the total, the words ‘Total c/f' (carried forward) are written. This shows the amount that has been carried forward to the next page. On the next page, in the particular’s column, against the amount brought forward, the words ‘Total b/f’ (brought forward) are written. This shows the amount that has been brought forward from the previous page In other words, it may be noted that, the number of transactions is very large, and these are recorded in number of pages in the journal book. Hence, at the end of each page of the journal book, the amount columns are totalled and carried forward (c/f) to the next page where such amounts are recorded as brought forward (b/f) balances. Types of Journal Entries: 1. Simple Journal Entry: It is the type of entry in which only two accounts are affected where one account is debited, and another account is credited with an equal amount. 2. Compound Journal Entry: It is the type of entry in which more than two accounts are affected i.e, one or more accounts are debited, and/or one or more accounts are credited or vice versa.
